Tyler Farr was born and raised in the small town of Garden
City, Missouri. The singer was first introduced to country music at age
16, when he spent a summer on the road with his stepfather, who played
lead guitar for country icon George Jones.
Farr grew to love country music, and he decided to make the move to
Nashville to pursue a career as an artist.

He landed a job working as a bouncer at the legendary Tootsie’s
Orchid Lounge for five months until he was able to convince the
management to let him sing. For the next few years, he would play the
Tootsie’s stage four nights a week, in addition to working security at
the door.

An avid outdoorsman, Farr found a friend in award-winning songwriter
and fellow outdoorsman, Rhett Akins. Rhett had heard some of Farr’s
music, and he wanted to work with him. After writing with some of the
best songwriters in Nashville, Farr eventually landed a publishing deal
with Sony ATV/Monument Publishing, and it was that connection that
ultimately helped him land his recording contract on Sony Music
Nashville’s BNA Records.

In addition to recording and songwriting, Farr has toured extensively
with Colt Ford, for whom Tyler wrote the song, “Hey Y’all,” as well as
opening for Jerrod Niemann and
Lee Brice in early 2011 on The Higher
Education Tour. Tyler’s four-song digital album, Camouflage – EP, is
available now.
